Hours Without Relief

3/14/11



Whats the difference between obsession and addiction?

Who gets to draw the line, decide where I place the blame for this


This fury

on onslaught

a hook that seems to stay tense no matter which way i scurry,

can't solve the tangled riddle of how to be obedient to a

mistress that pulls at my flesh.

Keeps it tight enough to bleed but just under ripping strength

I'd trade this tied down torment for a freedom even if it's skinless

Infection doesn't scare me half as much as her breathing on my neck

But the devils not offering

not bartering today.


So I'm back to the question of how to name this craving, a thirst

hunger

pull for life source

The driver stays hidden which nails home the point that

I'm not in control of a train straight to hell,

praying the engineer knows mercy or the coal pile runs out.
